A method of backfill mining crossing the interchange bridge and application of a ground subsidence prediction model

Abstract

The traditional backfill mining method is a technology developed by the general trend of green coal mining, but with a high cost and an impact on production efficiency. This paper proposes a structured backfill mining method with high-water materials and pillars. The evolution of roof pressure appearance is assessed through the sensor and monitoring system in the hydraulic sup-port. The main roof fracture step distance is determined based on the roof structure characteristics of backfill mining, and the backfill step distance of underground structural backfill is 22.7 m con-sidering the safety factor. Through the simulation results of Abaqus commercial simulation soft-ware, the roof subsidence evolution of different backfill schemes under temporary load and perma-nent load is compared, and the rationality of the backfill step distance is verified. Based on the probability integral method, the surface subsidence prediction model is proposed, then the final value and the maximum dynamic change value of the surface subsidence at the north and south ends of the interchange bridge by traditional mining and backfill mining are analyzed, which veri-fies the rationality of the structural backfill mining method.
